'What the hell, why is everywhere so wet, am I under water? Not this dream again.' Said Ross, 'oi kid,' said someone. Ross frantically turns around to see bright red eyes and white teeth smiling at him, 'oh it's just you Luna, what happened what is this place?' Asked Ross. 'This place is my inner domain, I'm sure you've stumbled here a few times by accident,' said Luna. 'I have but why am I here now?' Asked Ross, 'it's simple really, you lost that fight with Alex, you lost so badly in fact, that if it weren't for my protection you probably would've died,' continued Luna. 'Dam it!' Ross screamed out, tears began to drop from his eyes, I'm just never strong enough, if only my body was stronger, you could've—' Ross was interrupted with a smack across his face. "Am I just some kinda fail safe to you? Instead of facing your own battles, you just leave it to someone else? If that's your mindset i don't want to be in your body anymore, best I let the Hozeki family kill you, so that I can host someone else, you have the ability to become so much stronger if you utilize the abilities you already have, and you know this, during your battle with Scott, you did it for a while, but as always your get in a pinch and you call on me to clean up your mess, as much as I love being set free, I can't be your stepping stone anymore, if you want me to help you do it the right way, I'm supposed to fight alongside my host, not fight for them!" Shouted Luna at Ross.
Meanwhile in Welt's office, he's assembled Rhyan to have a meeting with him. "Rhyan sorry to call you so soon right after the fight, I'm aware that you will want to check on Ross, but I have a mission for you." said Welt Rhyan stands in silence listening attentively, "I'm sure you and many other noticed the disappearance of Ethan, and I may have some idea on where he is and what he's about to do next. At the current moment he's in the Hozeki mansion, where they are holding a plan to invade the academy," said Welt. "What? That's insane, why would they want to invade the academy?" questioned Rhyan. "It's simple really, the Hozeki family are after Ross, i believe their plan is to cause a big commotion, and kill Ross when we are all distracted." "So why do you need me then?" Asked Rhyan. "Well I'm making you team leader, I'm assigning you to Alex and Adrian," said Welt. "Dam, that's only a 3 man squad, I'm sure we will need more man power especially if the Hozeki family is as strong as you say they are, besides we aren't even 100% sure if Ethan is still in there," said Rhyan. "Well I do have one other student named David, but he's overseas right now, and won't be here in like a week, and I don't think it's a good idea to send Zack, after all he was a slave for the Hozeki family before Ethan took him in. And as for Ross, well he's carrying the water spirit as you know, so sending him will be giving away our treasure. Not to mention he's also been affected by the Hozeki family, I believe his entire village was raided and he lost his entire family and friends, do you really want to put him through that?" Questioned Welt. Rhyan stopped to think for a bit, "Fine, I'll do with what I ha—" (Crash) someone opened the door causing a big noise, Welt and Rhyan turned around with quick haste, but was surprised to see Ross standing at the door, with his tentacles wrapped around his right leg, like some sort of cast to make walking easier, and with anger on his face and tears in his eyes he screams, "I'm.....going...on this mission!" Welt smiles, while Rhyan rushes to help his friend up. 'You've got balls kid, keep this up and I might help you from now on,' said Luna. 'Now can you please lend me some healing? my body hurts,' asked Ross who began to tremble, 'I refuse I think you should heal on your own, we fight together remember, I'm not fighting for you,' complained Luna. 'Okay fine, but just this once please, I'm not sure how to do it yet, I'll even eat your favorite food for a week straight for you if you do it this once, I'm begging you,' Ross said to Luna practically screaming internally from the pain.
Welt laughed, "alright then it's settled you boys will take up the task of recovering Ethan from the Hozeki family, this is a mission of the highest priority, if you fail here, the school itself will be in danger, now Rhyan go assemble everyone."

"A withered flower"
"Fields red with blood"
"Flys on a corpse"
"The aging of the ones around you"
"An expired Coupon for Arkhams Pizza"
"The current fortnite Battle Pass"
"Homeless people without honey buns being thrown at him"
A shadowy figure stood proudly on top of a clock tower, standing arms crossed while staring at the very same moonlight which illuminated him. "What do all of these things have in common?" The figure continued. "They're unsightly..."
No sound followed until suddenly a portal of shadows appeared, revealing a figure in a black and gold suit with black wings. "Dawg... what the hell are you doing out here Alex?" The man started. "I mean, weren't you in the hospital like a grand total of THIRTY FUCKING MINUTES AGO!"
"I was rehearsing for my next performance" Alex said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "Shnogbambino... this is not drama class." Adrian retorted with a sweat drop. "Whatever, let's just get back home, I'd like to rest in my own bed." Silently agreeing, Adrian surrounded them in a tarp of shadows before they found themselves back in their hideout, only to find somebody already standing there. Adrian immediately got on guard, but was stopped by Alex. "Oh hey Rhyan, haven't seen you since I kicked your ass." The smirk on Rhyan's face faltered, "Oh shut up, I'll win next time." "Right right well anyways... why are you here, and how did you find us for that matter."
"Well for that last part... I asked Welt" "How does he even kn-" "Not the point, the point is that we have a mission coming up in a couple days." Suddenly Alex's eyes narrowed, as if bro locked in. "carry on"
"I'm sure you noticed the fact that Ethan was missing-"
"Who's missing?"
"Ethan"
"Never heard of him"
"The fire guy"
"The guy from the racist clan?"
"Yep one and the same"
"I still don't know who that is"
"Just pretend you do"
"Anyways," Rhyan continued. "He is currently being held in the plaza of the Hozeki family, which is at the shore directly west from the capital." "Didn't you say they used fire powers?" Alex questioned. "Good property value." "ahhhhhh ok."
"Our job is to get in there and break him out, maybe cause a little mayhem on the way out." Rhyan finished saying. Alex turned back to look at Adrian, who was eating his pizza"ohhh we are definitely doing plan B28 of the atomic protocol." A disinterested hum was all he got out of Adrian. Alex turned back to Rhyan, "When do we leave?" "Five Days, at the capital main entrance." Alex grinned, "Than I'll see you then" he said before snapping his fingers. Then, as if rehearsed, Adrian reached out his hand to Rhyan before shutting it into a fist. Suddenly Rhyan found himself in a random street in the capital. "That might come in handy..."
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Remember, we will leave going west bound, following this caravan to blend in until we get close enough to the plaza, any questions?"
Alex raised his hand.
"Yes Alex?"
"Why are you leader"
"Welt chose me"
"Aint I beat your ass?"
"I'm sure if you were fully conscious Welt would have chose you"
"Can we make it a democracy at least?"
"Why do you care so much"
"Cause your weak"
"Whatever!" an exasperated Rhyan yelled out, launching his hands in the air. "Any REAL questions?" Nobody responded. "Great, than we can finally get this shit show on the road" Said Rhyan, as the group began to leave the gate, on their way to find Ethan's kidnapped ass.
